 Six more Australian birds thought extinct
While travelling through Việt Nam I'm often dismayed to see rare animals being offered for sale at restaurants, hundreds of kilograms of orchids and other plants rotting at roadside sellers houses and destruction of remote national parks by slash and burn farmers.
As an Australian I feel like a hypocrite when I preach about conservation, Australia arguably has the worst record for habitat destruction and species loss in the world. The human plague continues    http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...20/3097475.htm |

Tell me that Western religion hasn't had a hand in shaping our attitudes about our role.

SAD, one hates to see it happen.
25 years ago I was in to raising cage birds, makes me wonder how breeder's in the U.S. or even other countries have done with breeding/raising star finches & did the pet trade have something to do with their demise? |

religion has very little to do with the state of the world, unless you classify greed as such (greed of power and/or money). in that sense, you could also class humanism (which seems to be getting very popular right about now) as part of the demise of the world. in the end, the defect of our humanity is universal. some would destroy the whole world to follow their belief, and this particular belief is not western. so, north south east and west are all to blame. and it isn't religion, plenty of non-believers of all types do anything and everything to get what they want, and don't get in their way...
it all boils down to 'how can I get a buck, or who do I give a buck to, to get some power?' (or who can I steal a buck from to get some more power) this is universal |
